Table of Contents

Bhagavad-gita As It Is



The Bhagavad-gita is the main source-book on yoga and a concise summary of


India's Vedic wisdom. Yet remarkably, the setting for this best-known classic


of spiritual literature is an ancient Indian battlefield.

A Second Chance: The Story of a


Near-Death Experience




The amazing narrative of Ajamila's transforming near-death experience is


chronicled in Srimad-Bhagavatam. In this book based on that narrative,


Srila Prabhupada shows us how we can employ the techniques of mantra


meditation and bhakti-yoga to overcome the obstacles of materialism,


meet the challenge of death, and ultimately attain spiritual perfection.

Beyond Birth and Death



Is there life after death? Srila Prabhupada tells how the soul travels


from body to body, and how we can end the cycle of birth and death by


reaching Lord Sri Krishna's ultimate abode. An excerpt: "The simple


process of chanting the names of Krsna will reveal what one is,


what God is, what the material and spiritual universes are, why


we are conditioned, how we can get out of that conditioning -


and everything else, step by step."

Civilization and Transcendence



In this small book Srila Prabhupada addresses the fallacies of our modern


so-called advanced civilization. After pointing out that today the vast


majority of people do not know what real progress is, he explains that


in the Vedic civilization people strive not for the false progress of


economic development but rather for the true advancement of self-


realization and God realization.

Easy Journey to Other Planets



It is said that the perfect yogi can relinquish his body at death and


journey, at the speed of mind, to antimaterial planets far beyond the


limits of the material universe. Encompassing the systems of sankhya,


astanga and bhakti, this absorbing publication treats the science of


yoga, particularly in its application to out-of-body travel.

Krsna Book



These stories transport the reader from the mundane and commonplace,


beckoning him to participate in a miraculous journey to a


transcendental realm beyond space and time, a realm where


everything and everyone lives in the blissful light of the


Supreme Absolute, an eternal transcendental youth--Lord


Sri Krishna, the ultimate object of knowledge and the


supreme goal of life.

Krsna Consciousness:


The Topmost Yoga System




Again the topmost yogi of the modern age, Srila Prabhupada, expounds


on the supreme yoga, Krsna consciousness. A sample: "Chanting the


Hare Krsna mantra is not merely the process of putting an end to


the false conception of the self, but it goes beyond that, to the


point where the pure spirit soul engages in his eternal, blissful,


all-knowing activities in the loving service of God. This is


the height of conscious development."

Life Comes from Life



This book is based on taped morning-walk conversations that


Srila Prabhupada had with some of his disciples during 1973,


in the Los Angeles area. On those mornings when he focused


on science, Srila Prabhupada spoke mainly with his disciple


Thoudam D. Singh, Ph.D. An organic chemist, Dr. Singh


presently directs the Bhaktivedanta Institute, an


international center for advanced study and


research in science, philosophy and theology.

Light of the Bhagavata



The simplicity, beauty and intricacies found in nature have


captured the minds and hearts of the greatest philosophers


throughout time. Even the greatest scientific minds of our


time are at a loss to understand nature's greatest mysteries.


Light of the Bhagavata presents a clear and tangible


illustration of the purpose and significance of


nature and it's origin.
Download (Word)



Mukunda-mala-stotra



The saintly king Kulasekhara lived more than a millennium ago


in India, yet his Mukunda-mala- stotra speaks to us today with


the fresh voice of truth. It is the voice of a realized soul


beseeching the Lord - and us - with the utmost sincerity.


He calls to all people to hear of the treatment for the


disease of birth and death.

Message of Godhead



Written shortly after World War II, this book describes how


society can live peacefully in a state of God-centered communism.

[Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu]




In this summary study, Srila Prabhupada gives a complete translation


and provides occasional commentary on Srila Rupa Goswami's classic,


Bhakti Rasamrta Sindhu.

On the Way to Krsna



Every one of us is searching after happiness, but we do not know


what real happiness is. We see so much advertised about happiness,


but practically speaking we see so few happy people. This is


because so few people know that the platform of real happiness


is beyond temporary things. It is this real happiness that is


described in Bhagavad-gita by Lord Krishna to Arjuna.

Perfect Questions, Perfect Answers



In 1972, Bob Cohen, a science teacher in the Peace Corps, began


a search for spiritual enlightenment that took him the length and


breadth of India. Here is an actual transcript of his life-


transforming meeting with Srila Prabhupada in the holy


village of Mayapur, India, the birthplace of

Sri Brahma-samhita



According to Vedic tradition, these "Hymns of Brahma" were


recited or sung countless millennia ago by the first embodied


being, Lord Brahma, just before he created the universe. The


book consists of a brief description of Brahma's enlightenment


by Lord Sri Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, followed


by Brahma's extraordinarily beautiful prayers elucidating the


content of his revelation. Sri Brahma-samhita contains


extensive commentary by Srila Prabhupada's spiritual


master, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura.

Sri Caitanya-caritamrita

Adi-lila | Madhya-lila | Antya-lila (word)
Adi-lila | Madhya-lila | Antya-lila (pdf)


Sri Caitanya-caritamrta was written by Krishnadasa Kaviraja Goswami.


This book contains the unabridged original Bengali text, Roman


transliterations, synonyms, translation and elaborate purports


by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. This


is the definitive history and biography of Sri Krishna Caitanya.


Here is a description of Sri Caitanya's life and teachings.



Sri Caitanya pioneered a great social and spiritual movement in


India over five hundred years ago, which today continues to spread


its profound influence worldwide. While man in the West was exploring


outward in the physical universe, in India Sri Krishna Caitanya was


exploring inward, exhibiting unparalleled spiritual potency, and


discovering the truths of consciousness and transcendental reality.


As a young boy he overwhelmed astounded scholars, establishing his


own school at the age of sixteen. Within his lifetime, Sri Caitanya


transformed India in four respects: philosophically, by defeating


the greatest philosophers of his day; socially, by opposing the


blindly rigid caste system; politically, by organizing India's


first civil disobedience movement against repression by the


Mohammedan government; and spiritually, by freely distributing


nonsectarian love of God. Sri Caitanya-caritamrta presents Sri


Caitanya as the Golden Avatar, the incarnation of Krishna in


this age in the form of His devotee.




Sri Isopanishad



We rebel at modern science's contention that we can be analyzed


into lifeless laws and particles.We feel that personality is the


solid foundation and unifying principle of our existence. That


intuition is correct, says the Vedic philosophy of ancient India,


which loudly proclaims the primacy of personality in every sphere


of life and knowledge. And the essential Vedic teachings on the


universal nature of personality are summarized in Sri Isopanisad,


the foremost of the 108 Upanisads.
